With Ohio State falling short of its goals this season, a consolation prize Rose Bowl matchup with Utah will provide an interesting litmus test for the program's culture.
Ohio State head coach Ryan Day, like all successful program heads, touts the importance of culture at what seems like every press conference. That of course isn't brain surgery - any team whether it be in sports or in the workplace, requires a certain culture and chemistry to thrive.
Now, after a loss to Michigan not only ended an eight-game winning streak in the rivalry but also had the Wolverines chirping for weeks, while costing the Buckeyes a shot at a B1G title and the CFP, it's time to see exactly how the strong the fabric holding the team's culture together truly is.consolation prize
His players have been forced to answer a lot of questions about Michigan in the lead-up to the Rose Bowl but to their credit, when the topic has shifted to the Utes, guys like defensive end Tyreke Smith have said the right things. Utah is a good enough squad, and a tricky enough matchup, that judging the state of Ohio State's culture simply by whether or not it wins or loses next Saturday isn't fair. Plus,, it certainly wouldn't be an odd occurrence for the Buckeyes to drop a bowl game following a loss to Michigan. That said, there are certain things to watch for in Pasadena giving fans a glimpse into the team's culture and overall psyche.
Assuming Garrett Wilson almost assuredly, and Chris Olave very likely, opt not the take the field, we'll get an extended look at how guys like Emeka Egbuka, Marvin Harrison Jr., Julian Fleming and Jayden Ballard approached Rose Bowl prep.My expectation is all these guys, under the direction of Brian Hartline, will have prepared like crazy to show out against a Utah pass defense slotted No. 24 in the country.
